Sketches {by Tamara}: Recipe 28

Here’s my card for this week’s recipe challenge at Sketches {by Tamara}. This week’s required ingredients were using red and white, incorporating a heart into your design, and using a household item to stamp.

I created a clean and simple card incorporating the three elements. I used SU!’s Top Note die to cut a panel from white cardstock. Using letters from the 1/2 Pint Playful Alphabet Buddy set from Kitchen Sink Stamps, I stamped the word “love” on the left side of the note in red pigment ink. I stamped three heart images from the KSS Love & Luck stamp set on a scrap of paper and trimmed closely around them. I added the trio of hearts to the right side of the panel using dimensionals.

I had originally planned to use a cork to stamp on my card, but after many unsuccessful attempts to locate some corks that I know I have somewhere in my house, I settled for using a sponge to “stamp” instead. I brushed some red ink along the edges of the Top Note die before adding it to the cardfront.
